I was going to call this thread spot the mistake but that would take up too much time, should be spot the correct bits
This is a certificate from a domestic job I went to just before the holidays the Electrician involved had done numerous things extremely badly mainly poor workmanship while adding to existing circuits and here's a brief list
10mm main earth on TNC/S with 25mm tails 100A incomer
No cpc on lighting circuit throughout but he'd fitted a metal light fitting in kitchen
No Rcd protection on circuits in the bathroom or kitchen
Used the cpc in a twin and earth to use as a three core strapper for the two way switching in the kitchen
New consumer unit was a mess of sphagetti, holes at the bottom where you could easily touch the busbar(I'll post pictures if possible later)
Connected the bathroom lights into existing double insulated single lighting circuit via separate Jb's which then had twin with cores cut off ie line to one jb neutral to the other this was again a mess of cable just left tangled
The shaver skt is jb'd to the shower circuit 6.0mm although he had put it on a 10A Mcb (I know you could argue this one but I'd seen enough of his work and as these rooms were gutted theres no excuse not to do it properly)
In the Kitchen (small kitchen approx 3 x 3.5m)
3 skts via 2.5mm t&e connected to the old cooker circuit 6.0mm on a 32A Mcb
There were 2 Skts/ 1 Fcu on a radial 2.5mm on 32A Mcb
1 radial circuit comprising of 2 x 2.5mm t&e feeding two skts again on a 32A Mcb
this meant that there were 4 circuits feeding skts within the kitchen, which I think is bad as customer turns the mcb marked up sockets off at the consumer unit thinks they've isolated it and gets a shock as only the one socket in the kitchen is fed from this circuit
Loose connections on everything he'd touched
A complete lack of correct labeling and the certificate is baffling I couldn't believe someone would be so stupid to actually sign it, its no wonder he refused to revisit the job which is about 300 metres from his own door step
He's not registered with a scheme and the LABC were not notified this is someone who works in a family Business mainly commercial works ie schools and supermarkets I hope he's on this forum and is suitably embarrassed!
